How do we know we’re doing things right?
Check out the hundreds of 5 star reviews on TripAdvisor or on Google and see what people say about our Overcoming Fear of Heights courses. We have been running these courses since 2005 and we’ve been learning and getting better at what we do throughout all of that time. We also keep in touch with people who constantly tell us how much their lives have been transformed.
For most people (90% plus) this will be a life-changing two days.
What do we do on this course to help you overcome your fear of heights?
This is a gradual process and it does not force you to do anything you don’t want to, or that you’re not happy to do.
Our fear of heights course begins with an indoor session looking at why you have this fear of heights and at rewriting the narrative that runs through your mind. To overcome your acrophobia, (fear of heights), you need to program your unconscious mind with a healthy level of intelligent awareness and then use that awareness to replace your irrational terror. In this first session light hypnotherapy with the whole group together may be utilised.
Anyone else running this therapy would end the treatment there. Thank you very much and good luck …
Our course is unique – here’s why
We don’t just run a therapy session indoors. Following the first session, we use our outdoor expertise as a medium through which you can further consolidate the progress made indoors. We now head outdoors and start again: this time using CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), or Exposure Therapy. With highly specialised leaders, we help you understand your brain, and then help you to develop your confidence with heights.

This course will aim to achieve its objectives through three phases
1 – The morning of day 1. A session of therapy with a specialist therapist in this field.
2 – Afternoon of day 1. Out to the Peak District. By this stage your unconscious mind
will have made vast progress, but on a conscious level you won’t be so sure. We use a
system of graduated activities outside to demonstrate to you how far you have now come.
3 – All of day 2. This phase further consolidates upon your progress and we continue to
offer you opportunities to gain positive experiences at height.
Is this course a rock climbing course really?
No it definitely is not. We don’t expect people to come on this course who have any experience of rock climbing (because you have a fear of heights). We do however use our skills as rock climbing instructors to make high places safe. (This is our bread and butter). We use the high areas of the Peak District purely as a medium through which we can work with you. This is not a rock climbing course and we don’t expect you to have any experience as rock climbers or necessarily to ever want to rock climb. (Though people do change their minds!)

“I want to thank you again for an excellent weekend. I actually had quite a lump in my throat on Sunday evening on thinking that I wouldn’t see that group again, as we’d all been through a unique and powerful experience. I think yours and Brian’s fear of heights course is brilliant and on Sunday in particular I felt full of confidence and now can’t wait to do more . . .”
